Reviews by JohnnyHopps:

The bottle says stout porter, which does not make That said, I liked this beer.

Appearance - The beer was dark in color and resembled a stout.

Smell - The smoke was the most immediate impression. Aside from this dark chocolate was noted.

Taste - My initial reaction was that this tastes like a chocolate bbq. If that does not get the attention of every meat-eating American, I am not sure what will. The smokiness in the beginning is leveled by the chocolate.

Poured into a stein a deep dark chocolate brown with a thinner beige head atop.Aromas seemed a little off to me,somewhat tinny with molasses and a bit of sourness,some chocolate peaks thru as it warms a little.Flavors of molasses and rum-like alcohol stand out mainly,there is some earthy/woody dryness in the finish,not much chocolate but the flavors are decent.Well I picked it up todaynot knowing what I was getting,I love a good Baltic Porter....this ehh it's not that good.

This brand certainly came from left field, boasting that it brews the Czech Republic’s first “craft beer.” A thick brew all around, definitely something to split with a friend or share with a group, and possibly cook with sweets.

A: The beer is jet black in color and has a light to moderate amount of carbonation visible near the edges of the glass. It poured with just a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of dark malts and licorice are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of molasses and dark roasted malts along with some notes of chocolate towards the finish as well as some hints of licorice. A light amount of bitterness is present.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied but quite thin on the palate with a low to moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is easy to drink, but lacks the body and boldness of roasted malts and bitterness that are most often associated with Baltic Porters.

The last of these new Czech beers to pass my lips. The label tells me it's a robust porter brewed with Czech cacao powder and lager yeast, which was then lagered for four months. Sounds good to me so far... It pours a bleak black-brown topped by a half-finger at best of tan foam. The nose comprises roasted malts (loaded with husk), very light cocoa powder, light (and thin) molasses, light brown sugar, and the distinct aroma of cola. Hell, the melange almost reminds me of some of the mass-market kvass bottles I've come across in the past. The taste holds notes of darkly-toasted barley, coffee, dark chocolate powder, and caramelized brown sugar. Just as in the smell, the malts come across as husky as hell, and everything is mostly thin, slightly watery, lacking much character. The body is a lithe medium, with a light moderate carbonation and an oily feel. Overall, a pretty tepid porter. 'Nuff said.
